Human gastric mucosa expresses glandular M3 subtype of muscarinic receptors [PDF]

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 1990
Five subtypes of muscarinic receptors have been distinguished by pharmacological and molecular biological methods. This report characterizes the muscarinic subtype present in human gastric mucosa by radioligand binding studies. The receptor density was 27 +/- 6 fmol/mg protein and the tritiated ligand N-methylscopolamine had an affinity of (KD) 0.39 +/-

Kv7 and K2P Potassium Channels in Thalamocortical Function and Their Therapeutic Potential in Childhood Absence Epilepsy

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 6, June 2026.
Modulation of K2P and Kv7 channels has the potential to reduce hyperexcitability and hypersynchronicity within the thalamocortical system. This offers a new avenue to suppress spike and wave discharges, the electrophysiological hallmark of absence epilepsy.

Gastric Cancer: Pathobiology and Therapeutics

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
Gastric cancer is a multistep process driven by the interplay of microbial virulence, host epithelial injury, and evolving molecular reprogramming. Initiation involves pathogen‐induced epigenetic alterations and the early subversion of key oncogenic signaling networks, facilitating the transition from chronic injury to metaplasia and malignant ...

Parasympathetic overdrive as a cause of overactive bladder in a high‐fat‐diet‐induced obesity mouse model

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 12, Page 4945-4967, 15 June 2026.
Abstract figure legend Obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are well‐known major risk factors for overactive bladder (OAB). Mechanisms underlying obesity‐/MetS‐associated OAB were explored using a high‐fat‐diet (HFD)‐induced obesity mouse model. HFD‐induced obesity/MetS mice developed an OAB phenotype characterized by enlarged non‐voiding contractions

Distinct agonist regulation of muscarinic acetylcholine M2-M3 heteromers and their corresponding homomers [PDF]

, 2015
Each subtype of the muscarinic receptor family of G protein-coupled receptors is activated by similar concentrations of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine or closely related synthetic analogs such as carbachol. However, pharmacological selectivity can be

The molecular basis of V2 vasopressin receptor-G Protein coupling selectivity

, 2003
G­Protein­gekoppelte Rezeptoren (GPCRs) stellen eine der größten in der Natur vorkommenden Proteinfamilien dar (Watson and Arkinstall, 1994). GPCRs sind plasmamembranständige Proteine, die mit heterotrimären G­Proteinen interagieren und eine Vielzahl an ...
